hiya all

Just bought a new HP PSC 2175 printer/scanner/copier but i cannot manage to 
get the scanner to work on my gentoo computer with xsane.  This is what i get 
when running ptal-init setup: 

root@av18 [23:05:33]/home/jeesanthe ptal-init setup

Stopping the HP OfficeJet Linux driver.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

This program manages devices controlled by the HP OfficeJet Linux
driver (hpoj).  It attempts to probe your computer for local parallel-
and USB-connected devices, and allows you to specify network addresses
for remote JetDirect-connected devices.

If you experience any difficulties in detecting your device(s), then
refer to the hpoj documentation for troubleshooting information.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Currently defined device names ([*]=default):
    "mlc:usb:PSC_2170"
        Model is "PSC 2170 Series".
        Serial number is "MY43PF42T673".

Press <Enter> alone to continue, or if you would like to delete
or reconfigure one of the above-listed devices, then enter the
device name to delete here --->

Probing "/dev/usblp0"...
    Found "PSC 2170 Series"
    with serial number "MY43PF42T673".
    This device is already set up as "mlc:usb:PSC_2170".

Probing "/dev/lp0"...
    No device found.

Probing "/dev/lp1"...

Probing "/dev/lp2"...

Press <Enter> alone to continue, or if you would like to add a
JetDirect-connected device, then enter its dotted-decimal
IP address or hostname here --->

Done updating device configuration files stored under /etc/ptal.
If you make manual changes to those files, then be sure to run
"/usr/sbin/ptal-init start" so they will take effect.

And with sane-find-scanner -v i get:

done

And im using linux-2.6.7 kernel.

I have no idea what to do next, any suggestions?
